Question

SOME one HELP me PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

Jared has a wooden board that is 11 ft long. He wants to cut it into two pieces so that the longer piece is 4 ft less than 4 times the length of the shorter piece.

How long will each piece of board be?

Shorter piece: ft
Longer piece: ft

Answer 2

longer feet= 4 x shorter piece - 4

total length of board = longer feet + shorter feet

.. let x be the shorter piece
so shorter piece =x
longer piece= 4x -4

total length of board = 4x -4 + x
11=4x -4 +x

solve for x ->shorter piece and substitute x in the equation for longer piece which is 4x-4

x = 3
4x - 4 = 8
